Hey All!
Back, however briefly, with this tidbit. It is timely because I see in the previous post there is continuing discussion on the now deceased Libyan Ambassador
LVB mentions some reporting on how " Ansar al-Sharia, headed off to meet their al Qaeda controllers"
Interesting, but, likely typical msm spinning. Ansar al-Sharia fought valiantly on behalf of their NATO masters to destroy Libya and murder Gaddaffi. So by al Qaeda are we talking Al CIA/Mossadah? Or al-NATO?
Interesting too that Obama is saying this "wasn't a mob action".
I would have to agree with that.

The young man who purportedly found Muammar Gaddafi hiding in a drainage pipe

He is the latest victim of persistent violence and instability in the North African country.

The death yesterday (Sept 26/2012) of Omran Shaaban, who had been in hospital in France.Mr Shaaban was praised as a "dutiful martyr" by the National Congress,
although his family says he never received a promised reward of 1
million dinars ($770,000) for capturing Gaddafi
The Libyan government said it would honour Mr Shaaban with a funeral
befitting a hero. His body was greeted at the airport in his hometown,
Misratah.

Mr Omran Shaaban, died in hospital in France September 26/12, His body was greeted at the airport as of the above news story September 27/12. Dead and shipped back to Libya for a hero's funeral all in one day.
Wonder what airlines the body was flown into Libya on? NATO air?This whole story smells a bit off to me-

" he and three friends had been on their way home to the western city of Misratah from a holiday in July"

A holiday in July? Where were they on "holiday"?
Out of country? Were they in France? Germany? Were they with the Ambassador?

"when they had been attacked by gunmen in an area called el-Shimekh near Bani Walid"

President
Mohammed el-Megarif visited Bani Walid this month and secured the
release of Mr Shaaban and two of his companions.

When Mr Shaaban was finally brought home, he was "skin and bones"
- still paralysed, frail and slipping in and out of consciousness,
according to his brother, Abdullah Shaaban.

Omran Shaaban later was flown to France for medical treatment.

So Mr. Omran Shaaban the man who allegedly found Ghaddaffi in the drainage pipe, dies in France and is flown home to a hero's welcome.
At the time Gaddaffi was allegedly found in the drainage pipe in Libya, reminiscent of Saddam and the spider hole narrative, I had done a post covering that news.
Shall we all flashback to that time?? Of course we shall!!
In that post is a link to the story of the "hero" who found Gaddaffi and shot him with Gaddafi's own Golden Gun!! Young rebel shot Gaddafi in the head

As I said then: "Note the New York Yankees Cap"

America: mom, baseball, apple pie and death?

According to the article, at the time this happened, the young man with the Golden Gun who captured and shot Gaddafi, the hero, whom the crowds cheered wildly for was not Omran Shaabaan.

No it wasn't, why it was none other then Mohammed al Bibi
excerpt below

The announcement he had been killed — as his stronghold of Sirte became
the last city to fall to the revolution — sparked jubilation across the
country the maniac ruled with an iron fist for 42 years.
The young freedom fighter who found him hiding in the pipe under a road was hailed a national hero and paraded shoulder-high.

Grinning Mohammed al Bibi, 20, was greeted by wild crowds in Sirte amid volley after volley of celebration gunfire.
He told how the tyrant was armed with only his James Bond villain-style
"golden gun" — which he was often photographed with — when he was
discovered.
The young rebel — wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap instead of an
Army helmet — said that as he grabbed it, Gaddafi begged: "Don't shoot.
Don't shoot."

He was still brandishing the ornate souvenir as overjoyed crowds surrounded him chanting: "God is great!"

Omran Shaabaan? Mohammed al Bibi?

I knew this story was full of holes. Now onto the questions..Recall the body of the Ambassador was allegedly brought to the airport in Benghazi?
Was Omran Shaaban or whoever this really is brought to the airport at the same time?
Was he really attacked by gunmen near Bani Walid? Or was he caught up in the melee at the consulate?
His time of death makes me think this man was connected to the melee and the consulate.
Was this person really connected to the killing of Gaddaffi?
And if he was, as the Ambassador was also, is this all a tying up of loose ends or some kind of cleaning of the house? If you recall there was a whole lot of questions about just exactly what had gone down when Gaddaffi died and now with the Ambassador gone and the alleged hero gone.....
The official narrative can continue on without challenge. Along with whatever the hell else was/is going on in Libya?

Our film crew has spent 2 months on the frontline with the soldiers of
Syrian army and civilians trying to answer these hard questions:
Who is the Syrian army fighting?
What is the armed opposition fighting for?
And why are there so many interested parties in this conflict?

This film was made in field conditions to better tell the story of what's happening here.
Not for the faint of heart

Also, if you have the time LVB has a relevant documentary linked a@ LVB Research

In case you missed this news. The US delisted their handy dandy terrorist group the MEKFrom the Arabist

Years of hard work by the MEK, their lobbyists, parts of the Israel
lobby (esp. when it overlaps with the anti-Iran lobby and the neocons)
have finally borne fruit. A rather strange, cultish organization that
once bombed Iran's parliament is no longer on the US list of designated
terrorist organizations. It comes at the time of the most concerted
effort to put pressure on the Iranian republican regime since its
creation, and with much talk of war as background chatter.

The many other reasons the MEK — a fundamentalist guerrilla movement,
essentially — will now make a handy recipient of US (and other) funding (as if they weren't already?)
should things continue to heat up with Iran. Or indeed the story of how
this was possible: perhaps not so much because geostrategic calculations
as intense lobbying and a lot of money.

A growing number of doctors, nurses, pharmacists and parents are
reporting that they believe attention deficit drugs are causing major
health problems in patients, many as young as 6 and 7 years old.
The federal government is not listening. Health Canada, which collects these adverse reaction reports, does
not alert the public to the magnitude of these side effects. This is
because the regulator has not analyzed the data it collects. It has
allowed the industry to largely police itself. “It is primarily the (drug company’s) responsibility to monitor the safe use of their products,” Health Canada told the Star.

The regulator (why call Health Canada a regulator?)says the benefits of the drugs, when properly
prescribed and used, outweigh the risks. Health Canada and the drug
companies also say the side-effect reports show only a suspected
connection between the drug and side effect but no medical proof that
one caused the other.

Health Canada should consider the reports a “red flag” and move
quickly to find out if doctors and patients know enough about the drugs’
risks.
All parties involved agree that because doctors and nurses are not
required by law to report adverse effects the regulator only learns of a
minority of cases.
“It boils down to a simple thing: we need good safety monitoring for
medication,” said Dr. Kenny Handelman, an ADHD specialist in Oakville.
“That will help us be safer in prescribing medicines to people.”
The Star’s data analysis revealed 7-year-olds were most likely to suffer a serious side effect.
Ten per cent, or nearly 60 cases, of the nearly 600 reviewed involved boys and girls 7 years old.
A nurse said a boy suffered amnesia, mania and psychotic disorder while on Concerta.
A 7-year-old girl on the same drug developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a
potentially life-threatening skin disorder, as well as 13 other side
effects, a doctor reported. A boy the same age and on Strattera thought
about killing himself.

Twenty-two youths aged 8 to 18 tried to kill themselves and two
demonstrated suicidal behaviour. Seven completed the attempt. All boys.
An 11-year-old, one 14-year-old, two 13-year-olds and three
15-year-olds. One of the 15-year-olds who ended his life was on an
antipsychotic that the reporting nurse believed was partly to blame.
The reports of the 11- and 14-year-old Canadian boys were found in
the U.S. government side-effect database. Tuesday, Health Canada
contested the accuracy of those reports and was continuing to look into
the issue.
The Star also found four deaths that were not suicides, including an
18-year-old girl who died after a cerebral hemorrhage in 2011.
“This is ugly. This is really ugly,” said a concerned Conservative MP
Terence Young, when presented with the Star’s findings. Young has been
pushing for stricter regulation of the drug industry since his
15-year-old daughter Vanessa died while taking Prepulsid, a digestion
aid, in 2000. Health Canada pulled the drug from shelves a few months
after her death.
“Every parent who makes a decision about one of these ADHD drugs for
their child should be given this information that the Star found on the
adverse drug reactions that other children have suffered,” Young said.
Each of the nearly 600 adverse reaction reports reviewed by the Star
is the opinion of the doctor, pharmacist or parent that a particular
drug has caused a side effect. Anyone can make a report but most of the
time it is doctors who do so. Patients’ names are taken out of the
reports to protect their privacy.
The drugs in the Star study are commonly prescribed to help manage
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a term used to describe people
with poor focus, impulsivity and hyperactivity.
Though the number of Canadian kids with the disorder is unclear — one
estimate puts it at one in 20 children — parents are increasingly
turning to these drugs to deal with the diagnosis.
In the 10 years reviewed by the Star, 76 kids on ADHD medications
thought about killing themselves. One-third of these were children
younger than 10, some as young as 6.
When presented with this number, Dr. Sohail Khattak, a behavioural
pediatrician and ADHD expert in Whitby, shook his head and said: “This
is an important number. I think (this) information should be available
to everyone. If I am going to be on the front line of prescribing the
medication, I need to know.”
In 52 of these suicidal ideation reports, the attention deficit drug
Strattera is listed as the suspected cause of the side effect. In 12 of
the reports, Concerta is listed as the suspected cause. It is also
listed as the suspected cause of one completed suicide.
Canadian doctors also prescribe Adderall XR (an extended-release formula), Ritalin, Vyvanse, Biphentin and generic versions to treat ADHD. Unlike other ADHD medications, Strattera is not a stimulant.
“Additional scientific investigations are needed to establish a cause
and effect relationship between a medication and an adverse reaction,”
said a spokesperson for Eli Lilly Canada, maker of Strattera.
The reports are supposed to play a crucial role in regulating the drug companies.
After a controlled-setting clinical trial involving thousands of
participants, if a drug is approved for sale, the reports are often the
only way a government can monitor how a drug performs in the much-larger
general population. (A clinical trial may not reveal serious drug
reactions that occur infrequently or take a long time to materialize.)
The Star found the reports are piling up in Ottawa at an increasing
clip: more than one-third of the 600 serious ADHD medication side-effect
reports were filed in the past two years alone.
While the reports accumulate, the Canadian regulator says on its
website it does not have the expertise to analyze the information for
trends and is relying on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
help. When asked about this in late August, the regulator told the Star
that the plan to partner with the FDA had been dropped and another
strategy would be launched this month.
In the meantime, the drug companies note that they are required by
law to forward adverse reaction reports they receive to Health Canada,
and say they closely monitor these reports and consider patient safety a
priority.

Toronto psychiatrist Dr. William Wehrspann, who treats kids and
adults, says this regulatory system is like “the police investigating
themselves.”

“What bothers me is that it’s left to the pharmaceutical companies to
evaluate the effects of the drugs. That’s a conflict of interest,” he
said. “It’s unfair.”

"Rally participants paid tribute to US Ambassador Christopher Stevens
and the other Americans killed in the assault on the US consulate in
Benghazi. Ansar al-Sharia has been accused of involvement in the
September 11th attack.
“Libya lost a friend,” read one banner carried by protestors. “We want justice for Stevens,” said another."

This story of the storming of Ansar Al Sharia's base, I don't know, did it really take place?
The whole story sounds so contrived.

"“People here don’t believe that Al Qaeda is this huge scary thing that
is moving everywhere and behind everything in the whole world. They
think that is American propaganda.”

In amongst all the confusing and contradictory information, that is difficult to sort through, I am left wondering if the agenda here is simply "muddying the waters" in order to put people onto the wrong path or misdirect them?

Egypt, while the tool Mursi is away: “Shadowy Militants” “Peace agreements needing to be addressed”
Much meme planting. Warming up for that military intervention that has been previously mentioned here, on several occasions.

“The unnamed official warned Israel against trying to provoke Egypt adding that the country's military command is handling the issue "with wisdom and calmness." He noted that Egyptian military is following the recent developments on the border including "Israeli threats" to initiate a military operation in Sinai.”

“The unnamed official”. Suspicious? Oh yah. Is Israel creating a narrative of a threat from Egypt that will necessitate pre-emptive action? Same as the one being created and reinforced regarding Iran?
It's a possibility

Another one that reeks of narrative creation. Another one quoting some unnamed official

“ an adviser to Mohammed Morsi, the Egyptian president, said it was "a matter of time" before the pact is changed to bolster Egypt's control over the Sinai peninsula, which borders Israel.”

What adviser? What did he say, exactly? The words “a matter of time” indicate nothing to the reader of how these words were being used, or in what context. Only Israeli media spin is providing the context.

Encouraged by the U.S.,(to meddle in Syria) as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar, which have together invested massively in Turkey since the AKP came to power in 2002 and have pledged to invest more than 12 billion dollars more this year.

It's the Guardian, so you gotta expect the NATO narrative to be promoted in the headline despite the content disconnect

"It was enough for Abu Omar al-Chechen. His ragtag band of foreign fighters, known as "muhajiroun brothers", was huddled in the doorway of a burned-out apartment building in the university district of Aleppo. One of the brothers – a Turk – lay dead in the road around the corner and a second brother lay next to him, badly wounded and unable to move. They had been unable to rescue him because of the sniper.

Abu Omar gave an order in Arabic, which was translated into a babble of different languages – Chechen, Tajik, Turkish, French, Saudi dialect, Urdu – and the men retreated in orderly single file, picking their way between piles of smouldering rubbish and twisted plastic bottles toward a house behind the front line where other fighters had gathered.
Hundreds of international fighters have flocked to Syria to join the war "

“Hundreds” you gotta love that spin. How many “hundreds”? 20 hundreds. 30 hundreds? 100 hundreds?
Of course the NATO news, whether it is in the UK/US or Canada isn’t going to report that the actual numbers of foreign fighters is easily in the 10's of thousands. Yes, that is right the tens of thousands.
There has been a steady stream of fighters flowing over the Syrian borders for many, many months now.
In fact for approximately a year and a half now, fighters have poured into Syria through Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon. They have been shipped in from just about every where you can imagine! Pakistan. Chechnya. Libya. The US special ops and CIA agents. Turkish troops/Israeli/French/British/Jordanians special ops. This destabilization has cost untold multiple billions of dollars. Yet, the Guardian would have you believe there are only “hundreds” of foreign fighters. The Guardian would play you for a fool if you believe that rubbish.
Let's not kid ourselves, or be fooled by the NATO media all of these fighters are Mercs, every last one of them. NATO mercs. As has been covered incessantly here.

The FSA and all the other batallions are foreign mercenaries. Bought and paid for by NATO, for the most part. One can imagine all the ways the money is acquired to pay these ruthless killers. If you can’t, let me suggest some possibilities. Drugs. Humans. Organs. All trafficked through certain NATO protected/occupied nations. Just off the top of my head Afghanistan, Kosovo and Israel. If anyone
else can think of any other nations involved in these highly profitable
trades feel free to leave a comment. All money laundered through the big bankster operations as has been mentioned on two occasions at this blog

Devices like the "rock" have been used in intelligence gathering to
send encrypted messages for several years, although it remains unclear
why agents should have chosen a Moscow street for their alleged spying
operation.

An FSB official told the programme that one of the diplomats
identified by Russian authorities had been authorising payments to
Russian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) including civil rights
activists. The programme claimed to reveal a document which it suggested
was an authorisation for the transfer of £23,000 to the Moscow Helsinki
Group, a leading human rights organisation which has been a persistent
critic of President Vladimir Putin's government.

"How
naïve do you have to be to believe for a moment that President Obama
would risk upsetting the lobby in an election year?! He's more likely to
get pregnant.

No, what we are dealing with is an elaborate scam
to fool the world into believing that the United States won't be part of
an Israeli attack on Iran. While in the past I always discounted the
likelihood of such an attack, I am now less convinced. The fact that
Obama is risking upsetting Satan's little helpers so close to the
presidential elections is a strong indication that he's planned an
attack before the ballot. Once the war is in full motion, all the Jewish
voters and media who previously got fooled by his 'fall-out' with
Netanyahu over the Iran war issue, will be reassured that no-one beats
him at putting 'Israel first.'"

Hmm, a recycling of the fake Turkey-Israel fallout? "

BINGO!

Despite the theatrics presented lately via the media of the "conflict" between Israel and the US.

Dennis Ross and Alan Dershowitz, high-profile supporters of both
Israel and US President Barack Obama, told The Jerusalem Post Thursday they were
confident the president would support Israel should it attack Iran in a
last-ditch effort to stop a nuclear bomb, and that Obama would attack Iran
himself if necessary.

“The US as its (Israel)one true ally in the world needs to be there and
will be there. I have no doubt of that, regardless of who’s president,” Ross
said.

Dershowitz echoed that, based on his own conversations with
Obama. He said that while “the administration can do and say a little more” so
that Iran understood it won’t be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon, he trusted
that Obama would take military action if it became necessary.

Of course Alan Dershowitz "trusted" that Obama would take military action- He, with his one vote and untold lobby money has the President's ear and attention "based on his own conversations with Obama"

And
Dershowitz stressed that he was “absolutely” certain the US would support Israel
if, as a last resort, it undertook an attack on its own.

Despite some of
his criticisms in the past, Dershowitz said as of now, he planned to vote for
Obama in November.

Mr Dershowitz is going to vote for Obama in November. How nice.

My only quibble with the dissident movement piece is the theatre is not directed at the US non participation in an attack. What the script writers want us to believe is that the US will not participate in a first strike on Iran. Which is nonsense.They will participate and will give all manner of support. As is happening right now. The active participation will be presented as necessity after the fact. Which will be a lie. The US is now a present and active participant, they have been a past active participant and will be a very active participant when Israel launches it's strike on Iran. Likely the most active participant.

Of course the featured picture @ PBS is the sacrificial lamb, the USS Enterprise

"The U.S. Navy is vowing to keep commercial sea lanes open in the
international waters off Iran, despite a view among a small number of
critics that Washington’s military muscle may inadvertently(intentionally) stoke
tensions with Tehran"

Israel has threatened to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities

That's right boys and girls Israel is threatening to attack and all the big guns are present and ready to back that country up.

Gennady Yevstafyev, retired Lieutenant General of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, believes there is no blanket support for the Western cries about democracy and modernization in the broader Middle East. One can't ignore the fact that people who killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens are active in Syrian affairs and this is the kind of people which America and the West support. In Syria, they are the driving force for the opposition to the secular regime..

What exactly does Russia know? No doubt they have been watching the ME/Africa all along. Recall at the time of the Ambassador's death Russian media ran news comparing the killing of the Ambassador with the killing of Gadaffi. Thinking of how staged the movie protests are and how the US is changing the narrative surrounding the incident in Libya...

Sir,
I’m very happy to greet you here. What is your impression because it
looks like the situation is really ambiguous? On the one hand the
Western community is saying that those actors who have gathered in Cairo
are unable to resolve the Syrian issue but on the other hand the Arab
street seems to be exasperated with the Western involvement. So, how do
you see the situation? Perhaps Turkey, Iran, Egypt and perhaps Saudi
Arabia might really do something.

The feeling
you are getting from recent publications and speeches and statements is
such that the situation is nearing the climax and this climax is not
very much in favour of the Western community which has opened factually
an open war against the Syrian regime and is very detrimental to the far
reaching interests of many countries of Europe in this part of the
world. On the other hand Turkey which was very enthusiastic in
supporting many of the Western things done against Syria is now burden
with its own problems which are unraveling in the southeast area of
Turkey and the activity of Kurdish opposition and military Kurdish
opposition is growing. So, very soon Turkey is going to forget about the
whole thing.

In the sense the group of 4, which
includes Iran, could play an important role in searching the positive
result as far as compromise is concerned, of course if it will be
allowed to do this because the Western friends are going to really
sabotage the positive activity of the group. On the other hand there is a
very interesting situation after Libya, after the death of the American
Ambassador, this tragic death, many people look at the whole situation
through different spectacles. There is no blanket support for the
Western cries about democracy and new generation, and modernization, and
democratization of the broader Middle East.

No, you
now have information which is growing that those guys who killed
Christopher Stevens are really active in Syrian affairs and this is the
kind of people which America supports and the Western-European countries
support, in Syria they are the driving force for the opposition to the
secular regime. It is becoming more and more strange to look when the so
called democratic countries are really supporting the most extreme
terrorist forces against whom they promised to fight, and even George
Bush promised to wage a war against terrorism. All this kind of forces
are fighting over there and in many groups and numbers because the
strength of purely Syrian opposition is getting weaker and weaker and I
think it is going to disappear very soon.

It is not
by accident that the Human Rights Watch and other organizations are now
speaking not only about the atrocities of Damascus’s regime, but they
now admit that if there are atrocities there, they are committed by both
sides. Of course there could be no participation of extreme terrorist
forces on the part of opposition without atrocities and that’s what we
were saying all the time openly but the terrible domination of the
Western propaganda in mass media was really eliminating every reasonable
word that was saying that there are people who are committing
atrocities on the side of opposition and on the side of the forces which
are waging a war against the lawful regime which was elected and which
was trying to suggest certain things to try to find a compromise.

It
is not to say that I’m very optimistic because despite the tragic
results of American support of the Arab Spring in the countries of the
Middle East, there is evidence that Americans are continuing. You know,
they have a tremendous force there initially, and especially in the
election period they cannot abandon their line of supporting those
destructive forces, they would try to continue. And this is the
diplomatic inexperience of the Secretary of State Hilary Clinton who has
clearly indicated in her reactions to what is happening now in the
Middle East even after the death of their own Ambassador who was in the
first place one of the initiators of the Arab Spring.

So,
what we have now is a very fluid situation, very tragic situation which
is going to last quite a long and that’s why I’m not very much sure
that Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, who is an extremely capable and extremely
influential negotiator, and he is an Arab himself, would be able to find
a compromise any time soon. I hope that the statement of the Russian
Foreign Ministry recently, yesterday or the day before yesterday, that
we will not allow to pass any resolution through the Security Council
which would deal with the use of force in Syria, it is a really serious
signal to those who are still playing with the idea of no-fly zone over
Syria and so on. This no-fly zone is not supported by anybody around
Syria because everybody has seen the real effect of the no-fly zone and
the result of it in Libya.

And I think the sooner,
but I don’t think it is going to happen soon, but maybe after elections
in the US if Obama retains his cabinet in the White House, there could
be some rethinking of American policy in the Middle East.

Sir,
you are saying that the US has developed huge inertia. But on the other
hand we know that Turkey which is one of the closest allies of the US
in that region seems to be somehow shifting its position on Syria when
the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said that there was a need
for, like he put it – regional ownership of the issues of our region.

That’s
what I was talking about. That Turkey is burden with its own problems
and the Turkish people who are Islamists by nature, those who are ruling
now – the Turkish Government – I think are afraid of an uncontrolled
chaos which could find its place into the areas of this part of the
Middle East which contains very explosive areas of Kurdish dissidents,
religious dissidents and so on. And I think that Turkey is thinking
twice before continuing what was initially the very aggressive line
against Syria because they thought this Syrian regime would be
overthrown in a matter of weeks but now we have already 18 months and it
is clearly a sign that the population in Syria, most of it, is in
support of its Government and only a minority is trying to wage a war
against the regime.

The
interesting thing about this meeting in Cairo was its format in which
the four parties, like you said – Iran, Egypt, allegedly Saudi Arabia
and Turkey were sitting…

No, it is no wonder
because this is a committee which was constructed and established on the
proposal of Mr. Morsi – the new Egyptian President – who is supposed to
Islamist by nature. But he is an Islamist with I would say a rather
wise outlook on the matters of the Middle East.

In
fact I was thinking whether Iran could really contribute, whether it
could play some considerable role in the situation around Syria because
there is an illogical position of the Western countries – on the one
hand they are saying that Iran is pretty much involved in that
situation; on the other hand they are denying Tehran a role in
negotiations.

No, this is a continuation of
the Western policy towards Iran – it is a policy of a comprehensive
isolation of Iran from any possible political context. But this is an
extremely wise action on the part of Morsi who has suggested that Iran
should participate and it was very clear that these people admit that
without Iran’s participation there could be no solution for the
situation around Syria. And Iran is playing I would say in certain
respects a crucial role and of course there are rumors and information
that the Iranian military people are participating in actions in support
of Assad’s regime. This could be exaggerated but the fact is that Iran
is breaking through the isolation around it and is playing an active
diplomatic role in the search of solution over Syria. It is very
important.

So, do you think that potentially Iran can make a difference?

No,
I don’t think it would be allowed to make a difference but the point of
view of the Syrian Government is very much represented by Iran. And
Iran is not going to allow for any kind of military actions against
Syria. And anyway, I think Iran can influence the approach of Mr. Morsi.
It is not going to influence the approach of Saudi Arabia but it could
affect the approaches of Egypt and to a certain extent of Turkey.

Interestingly enough, Saudi Arabia was absent from the meeting. They sent no one.

The timing of this live fire “snap” drill should indicate this is no ‘snap’ drill. Nor is it a "surprise" drill, despite the silly headlines used by the media. When considering the timing and location of Israel's live fire drill and how very provocative the undertaking of this drill by Israel is, consider this- 25 Nations Practice War Against Iran

IDF launches surprise live-fire drill in Golan Heights- The drill, to include Northern Command, Central Command, and Air Force troops, is meant to test the IDF’s readiness for an ‘emergency situation.’

“Suggestions in some foreign media that Canada bailed out of Tehran because Iranian security suspected our mission there had been collecting intelligence for the U.S., Britain and perhaps Israel — and that we were on the verge of expulsion, or even worse.”

Now there is an interesting line of thinking! One that has to be seriously considered along with this news, immediately following the Canadian action. The IAEA receives ‘significant intelligence”

“ The UN atomic agency has received new and significant intelligence”
“The diplomats say the information comes from Israel, the United States and at least two other Western countries “

Could this intelligence have come from Canada? Was Canada in cahoots with the US, Israel and likely Britain? Was Iran getting wise to Canada’s interference?

The US ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice: “"People gathered outside the embassy (consulate) and then it grew very violent and those with extremist ties joined the fray and came with heavy weapons, which unfortunately are quite common in post-revolutionary Libya and that then spun out of control,"

"But we don't see at this point signs this was a coordinated plan, premeditated attack.”

The Libyans still see it as premeditated- "The way these perpetrators acted, and moved... leaves us with no doubt that this was pre-planned, determined, predetermined," Mohammed al-Megaryef, president of the Libyan National Congress, told CBS News.

"It was planned, definitely, it was planned by foreigners, by people who entered the country a few months ago. And they were planning this criminal act since their arrival," he added.

Planned by foreigners who had previously entered the country? That could be just about anyone?

Why is the US changing the story? It appeared to me from all early reports we were looking at two attacks. The first one the distraction to cover for the second hit. Is the US really going to continue on with the absurd movie protest angle? Why? Is it easier then addressing the killing of the Ambassador as a hit that they or their allies may have been connected to?

South Sudan army on Saturday said that 10 of its soldiers were killed and 50 others were still missing when a unit of the army mistakenly bombed a small boat which was carrying southern Sudanese soldiers at Upper Nile area.

"The Sudan people's Liberation Army hired a small boat to transport the soldiers at Upper Nile area. The boat sailed at night and was obstructed by an army unit which tried to stop it. When the boat did not stop, fire was opened on it," Philip Aguer, spokesman for South Sudan's army, told Xinhua correspondent in Khartoum by phone.

"Due to the intensive shooting, the boat drowned. Bodies of the 10 soldiers have been lifted and another 50 soldiers are still missing. Rescue teams are still looking for survivors," he added.

As Ali mentions in his commentary and has been mentioned here previously CIA/Mossad are all over Sudan- playing a direct role in the balkanization of that country.

It would not be that difficult, for well trained, carefully prepared group of soldiers to flee Benghazi and head back to Sudan via the Nile

Benghazi is located roughly below the eastern tip of Crete

Just a thought. Could these have been the “foreigners” that arrived previously in Libya waiting for the Ambassador’s return and the cover of movie protests?

Going long... Much is ongoing, much has gone on-
Let’s rehash to move forward
Libya: The attack on the consulate in Libya- which is not an Embassy.Apparently there is a difference
Quickly: a Consulate has more to do with promoting trade and servicing expatriates

“The word consulate literally means office of the consul, who is a diplomat appointed to foster trade and take care of expatriates.” Consulates are generally located in busy cities

Embassies are much bigger deals.

The word embassy comes from the French ambassy, or office of the ambassador. Ambassadors are high-ranking diplomatic representatives who serve as spokespersons for their national governments. With that greater importance comes greater security.

Therefore it would seem Ambassador Stevens was being hung out to dry in a measly consulate. For what reason? Probably more then one.One obvious reason is advancing the war agenda- The other, may be connected to getting sensitive documents- Let’s look at the sensitive documents first, because it is the easiest to address Oil Contracts, Names of Collaborators missing from US Embassy in Lybia

“Chris Stevens had been back in the country only a short while and the details of his visit to Benghazi, where he and his staff died, were meant to be confidential. Sensitive documents have gone missing from the consulate in Benghazi and the supposedly secret location of the "safe house" in the city.

Some of the missing papers from the consulate are said to list names of Libyans who are working with Americans, putting them potentially at risk from extremist groups, while some of the other documents are said to relate to oil contracts.

What other papers might there be? Did Chris Stevens make deals with the wrong people?
The list of Libyan names rather then targets could also offer potential contacts for “interested parties” The oil contracts, would have lots of potential. So who took the papers?

Heavily armed militants used a protest of an anti-Islam film as a cover to launch a well planned and well executed attack-

Since it has been reported that the so called protests began in Libya, over the psyop film, this would suggest an interested party “fomented” the protests so they could be used as cover for the attack in Libya. The protests were then ‘encouraged’ to spread as cover for the attack in Libya and to achieve other political agendas.Advancing the war agenda and Africom-Immediately after the operation at the consulate in Benghazi...

Recall Ansar al Sharia denied being connected to the consulate attack as I already mentioned...

That isn't stopping the US from making connections. And speaking of connections?Clinton says U.S. had nothing to do with film that sparked violence
I don't believe her. The US is connected to that psyop film
(If there even is a film? Or is it just a clip placed on Youtube? Which I am more inclined to believe)We have seen this type of psyop played out previously and we even have one of the same players connected to the psyop.As mentioned in a comment to WWM- you can refresh that psyop memory here, here and here.Also the level of internet connectivity in all "arab spring" nations The film is a psyop, perhaps one that is really for western consumption only. Attention has been drawn to this clip guaranteeing many of us in the west with internet connections will run off to YouTube, view the video and feel an air of "racial superiority"..... "Look at how irrational those people are" the brainwashed will smuggly claim. After all we (in the west) have given them. The video will be used to promote a concept in the minds of the massively manipulated, gullible western audience that "intervention" of the imperialist kind is a must. Intervention that western powers are in the process of undertaking surreptitiously presently in preparation for overt intervention in the near future. Meanwhile the western brainwashed masses will feel very comfortable in their state of managed perception of the rightness and necessity of these actions.Related: Armada of British naval power massing in the Gulf as Israel prepares an Iran strikeThanks Felix- glad to see you around!!

The attacks on the American embassies in Egypt and Libya have jolted
the U.S. presidential campaign, as foreign policy, which had been mostly
neglected, has suddenly become a major focus.

Whether it remains a key issue over the next couple of months remains
to be seen, but if events continue to unfold in the Middle East, they
could have political ramifications for the November election, analysts
say.

"This could become a new defining moment for the campaign or it could
fade away in a week," Larry Sabato, professor of politics and director
of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, told CBC News.
"I'm old enough to remember when the Iranian hostages were seized.
Most of the commentary at the time suggested it would be resolved very
quickly. I remember those stories: 'This is going to be resolved in a
matter of days,' Yep, 444 of them."

Stuart Rothenberg, editor and publisher of the Rothenberg Political
Report, told CBC News that, at least in the short term, the attacks
could boost support for U.S. President Barack Obama.

"There’s a rally-around-the-flag effect where people tend to be
supportive of the president as our national figurehead," Rothenberg
said. "The immediate reaction is, 'Well, I'm going to stick with my
president.,"
Rothenberg added that the events give Obama, who does have foreign
policy experience, an opportunity to talk about his national security
record. As well, the attacks take the focus away from dismal job
numbers.

But Rothenberg said Obama could run into trouble if the crisis continues over a period of weeks or months. "If the situation deteriorates, and suddenly there are questions
raised about his effectiveness and his toughness, and his success in the
international area, then he could have a problem."

War of words between Obama and Romney...read at link
More important is this:

The impact of the embassy attacks on the election may also depend on
who really is responsible. There are reports that the attacks may have
been a co-ordinated strike by al-Qaeda groups. If that is the case,
Obama could respond militarily, which would boost his support as the
country rallies behind him.

"If it turns out that they can trace the targeted attack on [U.S.
Ambassador] Chris Stevens to a jihadi camp or an organization, (or a country?) they will
respond, probably with airstrikes," Aaron David Miller, a scholar at
the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, told CBC News.

Miller said Americans would rally behind the president, giving him huge support, and boosting his presidential image.

"Running for president from a campaign bus in Iowa is one thing.
Running for president from the White House with all the perks, the
stage, the theatrics is quite another," Miller said.

A question? What country (Israel) is pushing hard for airstrikes on what nation (Iran)
Keep that thought in mind

ALSO CHECK UPDATE AT BOTTOM!!
Very doubtful the US Ambassador’s killing in Libya had anything to do with the highly questionable “film” made by an Israeli that allegedly sparked protest in Egypt. (The protests could have been staged just as easily as so many protests have been)

Version # 1- According to the msm Ambassador Stevens was killed by an RPG.

Version # 2- Information suggesting that Ambassador Stevens may have met the same fate as Ghadaffi, he survived the ambush on the heavily guarded embassy, but was taken, tortured, killed and body paraded about-

There is some interesting language being bandied about that seems to indicate that version #2 is the more truthful version-

T- 10pm Libyan time on Tuesday - The consulate's main compound begins taking fire from unidentified assailants. Around 30 people - both Libyans and Americans - were in the consulate at the time.G-Officials said the consulate began taking fire at about 10pm Libya time. Fifteen minutes later, the attackers got past "robust security"- American and Libyan - and into the building, setting it on fire.

It seems with only 3 people actually inside the building there was indeed a robust security contingent outside. Approximately the 27 remaining people.

According to the Guardian & Telegraph the Ambassador was taken to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation sometime after the attack-

G- the ambassador either escaped the consulate or was helped out and was taken to hospital by Libyans. It is not clear if he was alive at that point.

T- At some point between becoming separated from his security detail he is taken to a Benghazi hospital, which chimes with accounts from a doctor who said he treated Stevens for smoke inhalation. It's not clear how he got to the hospital but the Americans did not take him there.

10.15pm - The security officer makes it outside and but rushes back into the building with reinforcements to try to rescue the two others. They find Smith's body but are unable to locate the ambassador and are forced to retreat. His whereabouts remain unknown for the next several hours.

11.20pm - US and Libyan security forces make another attempt to regain the main building and this time succeed. As the shooting continues, they move all remaining staff into the annex building.

Midnight - The annex comes under heavy fire which continues for two hours. Two more Americans are killed in the fighting. They remain unidentified but are State Department officials.

0.45pm - US security personnel launch a counter-attack from the
consulate's smaller annex and try to regain the main building, which is
still aflame. They come under heavy gunfire and have to retreat.

2am Wednesday - Libyan forces regain control of the compound. It's not clear whether the attackers are killed, retreat, or flee.

Early morning - Stevens's body is returned to US officials at Benghazi airport.

US officials did not discover what happened to Stevens until his body was returned to them at Benghazi airport at about dawn.

Therefore Ambassador Stevens initially alive and treated for smoke inhalation was returned to Benghazi airport at approximately 6 am. That is 8 hours unaccounted for.As of 5:pm est the Guardian is reporting49m ago Senior US officials: No confirmation on how Stevens diedNo confirmation on how Stevens died. So what happened? One thing seems clear Ambassador Stevens was not killed by RPG fire. The US has not confirmed how he died. It appears the US does not want the details to come out. Did Ambassador Steven meet the same fate as Ghaddafi?

Cellphones in hand. How often do we see that? Very often. In fact when Ghaddafi was killed, we saw those very same types of images.

Want to point out this fact- The cellphones used to take these pictures were provided to the mercs in Libya by the US. The internet connectivity and cellphone connectivity was all provided for the Libyan mercs by the US. Same as all the weapons. Provided by the US and it's NATO allies
Is that ironic? Or is is karmic? I don't know.
These individuals have all the accoutrements of death that the US and NATO provided to them to destroy Libya. As you sow, so shall you reap? I don't know?
What I do know is the US shipped these killers via Turkey to torment the people of Syria

From the woman who has made this statement regarding the Ambassadors death

This “Attack... should shock the consciences of people of all faiths'

I am going to remind readers of Hilary Clinton’s reaction upon the death of Gadaffi

“We came. We saw. He died” hahaha

Evil woman. Evil.

Regarding the film that allegedly caused a stir in Egypt.... this is an utter psyop!An Israeli psyop.
Attempting to cast Egyptians in a bad light, so that Israel's government can cry wolf-
Oh, poor us. We must do something about the dangerous Islamists in Egypt. Like invade the Sinai.From the GuardianReferences to Islam in film were overdubbed: report

About that "film," "Innocence of Muslims": its every detail seems to disintegrate under the first light of examination.

On the Media now reports that every reference in the film to Islam appears to be overdubbed. The film apparently isn't, or wasn't, about Islam at all:

If you watch closely, you can see that when the actors are reading parts of the script that do not contain Islam-specific language, the audio from the sound stage is used (the audio that was recorded as the actors were simultaneously being filmed). But anytime the actors are referring to something specific to the religion (the Prophet Muhammed, the Quran, etc.) the audio recorded during filming is replaced with a poorly executed post-production dub. And if you look EVEN closer, you can see that the actors’ mouths are saying something other than what the dub is saying.

CNN quotes from a statement the news organization says was "released on the behalf of the 80 cast and crew members of "Innocence of Muslims" – although who released the statement and how CNN is sure of its authenticity is unclear.

The statement condemns the film and claims the actors were duped:

"The entire cast and crew are extremely upset and feel taken advantage of by the producer. We are 100% not behind this film and were grossly misled about its intent and purpose," the statement says. "We are shocked by the drastic re-writes of the script and lies that were told to all involved. We are deeply saddened by the tragedies that have occurred."

“It’s obvious we’ll have to be vigilant. Anything he did or said has nothing to do whatsoever with Israel. He may claim what he wants. This was not done with, or for, or through Israel,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said on Wednesday.

The two-hour movie, “Innocence of Muslims,” cost $5 million to make and was financed with the help of more than 100 Jewish donors, said Bacile, who wrote and directed it.

"At some point in all of this,(From 10 pm to 6am) and frankly we do not know when, we
believe that Ambassador Stevens got out of the building and was taken to
a hospital in Benghazi. We do not have any information what his
condition was at that time.(It would seem he was alive, read above)

"His body was later returned to US personnel at the Benghazi airport."

The FBI has now opened an inquiry into the attack and the circumstances of the deaths of the three who were killed.

Here is another one that is guaranteed to make you want to hurl. Especially if your a Canadian!
But, not solely if your a Canadian, because these type of gratuitous "awards" are given to many leaders for their "services" Services of what type? Services to who?

Mr. Harper’s foreign policy has certainly had critics, at home and
abroad, who have charged he shifted towards emphasizing the military,
oversaw a losing bid for the UN Security Council, and aligned Middle
East policy with Israel’s conservative leadership.

The G&M article is surprising short on details about this "Appeal of Conscience" Foundation

To put it plainly this "award" is being given to PM Harper, not because he has a conscience, or a soul, for that matter. He is being given this award, so he is perceived to be a man of conscience. Clearly, he is being given the award because he is servile to Israel.
Judging by the comments at G&M, people are not fooled-

That's the Prime Minister's reward for outsourcing Canada's Middle-East policy to the Israelis.

I guess "Boot Licker of the Year" was too obvious

The ACF, founded by New York-based rabbi Arthur Schneier, what a surprise harper being given an award by his jewish/israeli masters

Netanyahu Sycophant of the Year is more like it.

How ironic that a man who appears to have no conscience should receive this award.

And her "eyes filled with tears"....
As she listened to "horrific" tales.
As she wept over "heart breaking' accounts.

Heart tugging emotional triggers guaranteeing irrational responses-

"We encourage the international community to do everything they can
to support these refugees, and there is much to be done," Jolie told a
joint news conference at Zaatari refugee camp, 85 kilometres (53 miles)
north of Amman in a desert area near the border with Syria."

"It
has been a very heavy experience," she said of her tour of the camp. It
is very emotional to be with people who are wondering who is on their
side."

Angelina is an actress. She can cry on cue. This is the grossest form of manipulation.

Make no mistake about it. This woman is vile. She doesn't care about human suffering. Her role is to create support amongst the gullible for killing and slaughter.
She presents/bolsters the official narrative and fails to touch on the facts of what is really ongoing in Syria. NATO destabilization. She did the crocodile tear act to advocate for the slaughter of Libyans.
If she cared for humans, humanity or anything decent on this planet she would not be acting a role for the global war machine

Think about this?

War is .....

...THE CONTINUATION OF STATE POLICY, BY OTHER MEANS

.......A POLITICAL ACTIVITY IN WHICH VIOLENCE IS USED TO BEND THE WILL OF YOUR ENEMY TO THAT OF YOUR OWN

Stop being Manipulated by the Elites

For if you [the rulers] suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves [outlaws] and then punish them.´ - Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)

Edward Bernays: Perception Management it is a Reality

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society,"

"Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. . . . In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons . . . who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
